Linus is in his third season AFTER being drafted and is dead last on his team in terms of production. It’s not good.
Janmark was drafted as a 20 year old. So it actually was his 19 year old season.

Always go for skill, defensive acumen can be developed later.
He wasn't really a defensive specialist when they drafted him. Quite productive in Sweden's junior leagues.

It just hasn't translated into the men's leagues yet. Maybe never will.
